These fine lines...

.. they are invisible,yet everywhere. We feel its presence. They separate all of us, yet they are known to intertwine at times. There are lines we put up for others: to ensure that everyone gets enough breathing space and privacy. Then there are lines we draw for ourselves: personal barriers, to keep ourselves in check and out of trouble.

Some lines are drawn thick, some are drawn thin. These lines, we draw them around us. Sometimes they protect us, sometimes they are hindrances: preventing us from better-nicer-happier things.

Some people need to learn to be more flexible, and let others in.
While some people need to learn to step out of the lines they drew.

What kinds of lines do you draw?
